Yerger found an immunity idol earlier in the season. It was from "Survivor: China," and the idol was one of the two that contestant James Clement found during his time on the show. Clement didn't use either one before he was voted out.

Yerger scoured the Malolo camp and found another idol. It was the fake idol that "Survivor: Micronesia" contestant Oscar "Ozzy" Lusth made, and it ultimately tricked fellow contestant Jason Siska.

The stick is a real idol in "Survivor: Ghost Island," and Yerger will be able to use it to give himself immunity in the future.

"And I'm ready to do some damage with this guy," said Yerger.

The episode didn't start out great for Malolo. The tribe struggled and failed to win Wednesday's reward challenge.

It featured tribe members pulling on ropes to balance a disk while one member at a time went to stack blocks on the disk. The first two tribes who were able to spell "reward" with their blocks won. The challenge caused arguments between the members of the Naviti and Malolo tribes.

Naviti placed first and won steak and chicken kabobs, and Yanuya placed second and won chicken kabobs. Naviti also got to send Malolo member Kellyn Bechtold to Ghost Island.

While on Ghost Island, Bechtold received an advantage that will allow her to use an extra vote at tribal council.

While preparing for the upcoming immunity challenge, the Malolo tribe members burned their Malolo flag to reverse the tribe's curse and losing streak.

It worked.

The immunity challenge featured swimming to a floating platform, jumping into the water to retrieve rings and then throwing the rings at a floating target.

Yanuyu got an early lead and won first, and Malolo and Naviti were neck and neck until the end.

Yerger's ring-throwing abilities gave Malolo second place, and they won immunity for the first time in weeks.

Naviti goes to tribal council

Before tribal council, Naviti members went back and forth about sending original Malolo tribe member Libby Vincek or sending original Naviti member Bradley Kleihege home.

It seemed like the original Naviti members were going to eliminate Vincek, but the tribe pulled off a blindside and sent Kleihege home instead. Kleihege's prideful personality was wearing on his tribemates throughout the episode and factored into their decision to vote him out.
